Often students find themselves lost in Shakespeare's eloquent language. However, by breaking up the sonnet into individual words, students are able to enhance their understanding. In this assignment, students may isolate a single word or phrase and create a hypertext that links to movies, pictures, or music. When students break up the words they are able to piece together the language and gain a greater understanding of the text. This assignment not only proves to be enlightening, but also fun and addicting. Enjoy the links! CIV- 104 To me, fair friend, you never can be old, For as you were when first your eye I ey'd, Such seems your beauty still. Three winters cold, Have from the forests shook three summers' pride, Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn turn'd, In process of the seasons have I seen, Three April perfumes in three hot Junes burn'd, Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green. Ah! yet doth beauty like a dial-hand, Steal from his figure, and no pace perceiv'd; So your sweet hue, which methinks still doth stand, Hath motion, and mine eye may be deceiv'd: For fear of which, hear this thou age unbred: Ere you were born was beauty's summer dead. |
